CD ReviewsWonderful Songs... Dreadful Sound Quality Paul Lampert | USA | 03/27/2005 (3 out of 5 stars) "I became a Skip James fan after downloading some of his singles off of the internet including Devil Got My Woman, Hard Time Killing Floor Blues, Drunken Spree, and 22-20 Blues. I bought this CD with the hopes of hearing some of Skip's best work and while the songs are wonderful, the sound quality is not. Turns out that the recordings found on this CD were mostly made in the 30's and thusly are not of the best fidelity. I'd reccomend his 60's sessions to anyone just getting started with ole Skip. CD's such as The Vanguard Sessions: Blues From The Delta feature Skip's later re-recordings of his original classics and offer the listener a much more rewarding experience. While lacking some of the intensity of his original recordings they are, in fact, much more listenable!"
